Faith briefs for Sept. 16

September 16, 2011

Deborah Savage will speak on "Complementarity of Men and Women" at 5:30 p.m. Sunday at Holy Redeemer. All are invited to hear Savage's insights on how men and women interact.

Savage is a member of the faculty at the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota where she teaches philosophy and theology in the both the Pre-Theology and Masters in Pastoral Ministry Programs. She received her doctorate in religious studies from Marquette University in 2005; her degree is in both theology and philosophy.

Savage is a student of St. Thomas Aquinas with a particular interest in investigating his thought in light of contemporary questions. Her primary research interests are in philosophical and theological anthropology, especially as a foundation for human action and for the personhood of women, and the metaphysics of creation as a foundation for both stewardship and economics.
